MR JUSTICE CANTOR.

HOLIDAY IN NEW ZEALAND. VISIT TO MILFORD TRACK. (Special to Dailt Times.) AUCKLAND, December 27. A holiday visitor with very happy reco'lections of previous visits to New Zealand is Mr Justice Cantor, who arrived, by the Ulimaroa this evening. Mr Justice Cantor was recently appointed to the Industrial Commission of New South Wales, and has the distinction of being one of the youngest judges ever appointed in Australia or New Zealand. He is only 40, but his colleague, Mr Justice Street, is only 38. These two, with Mr Justice Piddington form the New South Wales Industrial Commission.

The departure from precedent in giving younger men an opportunity in a position usually reserved tor men of riper years is being watched with considerable interest. Judge Cantor took part in the work of the commission only for about a wee-k before the Christmas vacation intervened. He is spending some time in New Zealand, which he considers is a most delightful place for a tourist. “ 1 would live hero if I could,” he said, “ but rnv work lies elsewhere.”

Ho was practising at the Bar in Sydney when he was called to judicial office. He saw much of the North Island on a previous visit, and is to spend the most of his lime in the south on this vacation, which lasts till January 30. He exp sets to include the Milford track in his itinerary.
